Chapter 287 Lingnan Swordsmanship
At the Demon-Suppressing Pass, Qin Yin stood at the gate, with beautiful eyes as water at the team in the distance, and finally brought Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi back. From a distance, Tang Xiaoxi's fox ears disappeared, replaced by human ears, which made Qin Yin extremely excited and said with a smile: "Leader Feng, Xiaoxi has returned to its original state."
Feng Jixing nodded and smiled: "Yes, I just don't know if the beauty Linghu has selected the beauty of the fox clan for me, Feng, as my wife."
Qin Yin: “…”
...
After Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, and Linghu Yan entered the pass, Qin Yin and Feng Jixing immediately met, and Tang Zhen and others also followed, a huge crowd of people.
"Xiao Xi, it's successful." Qin Yin asked with a smile.
"The mission is done." Tang Xiaoxi chuckled.
"That's good."
On the side, Feng Jixing was a little disappointed because Linghu Yan did not take the matter of choosing a wife for him. Perhaps in Linghu Yan's opinion, Feng Jixing was not handsome and mighty, and was the commander of the first army. Such a person could not be liked by girls. With so many young girls in Lanyan City, Feng Jixing should not be worried about women.
But in fact, Commander Feng has always been obsessed with military affairs and rarely goes out to look for flowers and willows. Of course, he just said very little.
Lin Muyu stood at the gate and turned around to look down at the group of demon soldiers imprisoned in the gate. They were unarmed and could only resist with the instinct of the demon race. It was easy to kill them at this time, but this also means that they would lose the alliance with the demon race. Even if they kill these 50 elite soldiers in the gate and then kill the saint Linghu Yan, what can they do? The rewards they can get are nothing more than the snake man and the lizard man's even cruel revenge. At that time, I'm afraid the price the empire will pay will be greater.
"Open the door and release the demon captives." Lin Muyu ordered simply.
Suddenly, a group of ten thousand men from Qihai City remained silent one by one. One of them clasped his fists and said, "Major General, do you really want to release them? In this case, it may be equivalent to rushing the tiger back to the mountain..."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "The demon clan and humans have already signed an alliance. There is no need for us to waste more manpower and material resources here. The empire was originally empty and could not afford to consume it here."
"But the Major General..."
He wanted to say something else, Lin Muyu turned around and looked at Xu Ying and asked, "Old General Xu, what do you think."
Xu Ying's eyes flashed with a ray of wisdom, and he clasped his fists and smiled: "The veteran general listened to the Major General, the Supreme Commander of the Demon-Superior Pass, and the Major General's military orders are like mountains, and no one dares to disobey them."
As soon as he said this, a group of ten thousand men in Qihai City immediately didn't know what to say.
Lin Muyu raised his hand and ordered loudly: "Open the pass and release the demon captives."
On the side, Feng Jixing saw it and couldn't help but look at him with praise, while Qin Yin followed Lin Muyu with a smile, looking like a little sister. If it weren't for her outfit as an imperial princess, others would probably really think she was just Lin Muyu's sister.
As the iron chains were swaying, the heavy iron door slowly rose, and the gates of the cage opened one after another. The next moment, Linghu Yan appeared below the gate and said with a smile: "Warriors of the Demon Clan, we are back home."
A group of demon soldiers cheered and left one after another.
Lin Muyu stood on the gate, clasped her fists at Linghu Yan who was riding on the horse below, and said, "Saint, we will have another date. Since the alliance has been signed, the imperial soldiers of the Demon Suppression Pass will not cross this gate. I also hope that the demon clan can be completely unsuccessful and stop provoking repeatedly and invading the border of the empire."
Linghu Yan bowed immediately and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Major General, Linghu understands."
As she said that, she saluted Tang Xiaoxi respectfully and said, "Your Highness Xi, I have returned to the Endless Forest. The Endless Forest welcomes Your Highness home at any time. The tens of thousands of demon clan army in the Endless Forest will obey Your Highness at any time."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and nodded: "Go, Linghu."
"yes."
Linghu Yan turned around and pulled the reins and slowly left everyone's sight with the captives' team.
...
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and the rebellion of the demon clan finally truly subsided.
"Bang."
Feng Jixing slapped Lin Muyu on the shoulder with a palm and said with a smile: "Good boy, the turmoil has subsided. Yuwenxie's loss of 70,000 troops has not been solved, but it was solved by you without bloodshed. Returning to Lanyan City this time will definitely be another great achievement. Your Majesty will definitely reward you well."
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "Reward me, thank God if I don't need me to go to the prison."
"Hahaha..." Feng Jixing laughed heartily and said, "Okay, since the turmoil is over, you can go back to the imperial capital with us to pay the order. Your Majesty had already ordered me to leave the imperial guards' commander Sun Kailin, the commander of the imperial guard, to guard the demon gate. Look, it's him."
Behind Feng Jixing, a whiskered general about 40 years old clasped his fists and said, "After the order, I will definitely keep the Demon-Suppressing Pass."
Lin Muyu smiled, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and said, "General Sun, please guard this place well. Remember, humans and the demon race have reached an alliance. We must take the initiative to provoke them. The only thing you have to do is to guard the pass and never go beyond a step. Even if the demon race provokes, you must bear it. Do you understand?"
Sun Kailin said respectfully: "My general has received the teachings. Don't worry, Major General, I know how to do it."
"That's good, Brother Feng, Xiao Yin, Xiao Xi, let's go back to Lanyan City."
"good."
...
After lunch, we embarked on the way back. At the city gate, there were still many wounded soldiers in the wounded camp screaming. Fortunately, the Spiritual Medicine Department sent a lot of medicines, so basically no one would die anymore. However, Yuwen Xie's battle at the Demon Suppression Pass damaged the 70,000 imperial warriors, but the enemy was killed by no more than 50,000. Such a crushing defeat was extremely rare for Qin Jin to ascend the throne. I believe that Yuwen Xie, the general protecting the country, could not continue.
Along the way, everything on the earth revived, spring was warm and rapeseed blossoms were blooming.
Tang Xiaoxi returned to her original appearance, and everyone was in a good mood, but when Feng Jixing talked about his experience in the Dragon Hunting Forest, he learned about Mr. Jing.
"It turns out that Sima Jing was killed by you..." Feng Jixing pondered: "Sima Jing followed Duke Lan to fight in the south for many years. He is one of the most powerful confidant generals of Duke Lan, and one of the Zhenjiang Army personally conferred by His Majesty. I didn't expect..."
Lin Muyu grabbed the reins of the Jedi and said, "I didn't want to kill him either, but this old lady Jing was aggressive. And I overheard him and Tang Bin's words. When they first entered the Longlin, they had already had a murderous intention to kill Xiao Xi."
On the side, Tang Xiaoxi's body trembled slightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "I..."
Qin Yin gently shook her hand and comforted her: "Xiao Xi doesn't have to blame herself, you can't blame you."
Feng Jixing sighed: "The Qihai Province is vast and has a rich population. Qihai City is one of the seven famous cities of the empire. To be honest, this temptation is too great, and it is common for Tang Bin to be unable to resist it. However, the legend of Xiaoxi's nine-tailed demon fox has been cracked, but he has obtained a new identity. His Highness of the Queen of Endless Forest, holds more than 100,000 demon clan troops in his hand. Hey... This matter must not be hidden. Mr. Lan will soon know about this. At that time, Mr. Lan may hand over the inheritance rights of Qihai City to Xiaoxi without hesitation."
Qin Yin chuckled: "Congratulations to Xiaoxi, it was a blessing in disguise. From now on, Xiaoxi, you should be in charge of the scepter of the Seven Seas Province."
Tang Xiaoxi looked a little sad and said, "Even so, it's just a scepter stained with blood from relatives."
Lin Muyu looked up at the willow catkins floating in the sky and said with a smile: "This world is like this. Xiaoxi, you have to try to accept it early. By the way, Brother Feng, while I went to the Dragon Tomb, I also encountered a group of particularly strange wandering mercenaries."
"Strange mercenaries." Feng Jixing laughed: "Mercenaries are mercenaries, they are just people who eat, drink, gamble, and smoke, cheat and steal everything. What's so strange about it?"
Lin Muyu said: "They recognized me as a person in the temple, but they still wanted to attack me. Moreover, these mercenaries are very strong and basically entered the human realm. Logically speaking, there is no need for such a group of people to be wandering mercenaries and have a foothold everywhere. Moreover, the sword technique they used is very strange, and I have never seen it in Lanyan City."
"oh."
Feng Jixing was stunned: "What kind of weird sword technique, let me see it."
"Um."
Lin Muyu tried hard to recall, then pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword and danced several sword moves immediately. The sword energy rays were illuminated in the air, which was very gorgeous. A few seconds later, he returned to the sword and returned to the sheath, frowned and said, "That's it. The sword technique routine is very strange, which makes me still feel fresh in my memory."
Feng Jixing's body trembled and said, "This is... Lingnan Sword Technique."
"Lingnan Sword Technique,."
Lin Muyu was stunned: "Sword Technique from Lingnan, so to put, these wandering mercenaries are mercenaries from Lingnan."
"It's not what you think."
Feng Jixing frowned and said, "As we all know, the Qinling Mountains divide the empire into two pieces. There are eight provinces in the north and four provinces in the south. Every winter, when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, the Qinling Mountains cannot be crossed. Therefore, the north and south are almost isolated from each other. The most prosperous province in Lingnan is the Lingnan Province, which is the fief of Qin Yi, the king of Zhennan. Zhennan created a set of military sword techniques, which is called Lingnan sword techniques. Every soldier in the army in Lingnan can practice Lingnan sword techniques. The key to the problem is here. How could a group of wandering mercenaries from Lingbei Province use Lingnan sword techniques?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help feeling a little cold on his back: "Brother Feng means that this group of wandering mercenaries are actually the imperial army from Lingnan."
"Yes." Feng Jixing nodded: "For the past year, I always feel a storm coming soon. Now it seems that it is really fast..."
On the side, Qin Yin blinked and said, "Uncle Second... He shouldn't have any disobedience. After all, he is the father's younger brother. Moreover... Although Lingnan has sufficient troops, he can never compete with the eight major provinces in Lingbei. Moreover, there is a natural barrier between the Qinling Mountains and the south."
Feng Jixing nodded: "Well, that's it, but there will always be accidents. After returning to the imperial capital, Ayu will report this to His Majesty with me."
